I'm having a closer look now ;) So you used the (now depricated) file access methodes only, to get the lastModifiedTime, to calculate the expiry variable. > I'm pretty sure it could work without checking save dates (by recording the > last saved period in a tiddler) so in theory it could use only the core > save stuff and still work. IMO nope, if lastModified dates are stored in a tiddler you run into synchronisation / consistency problems. It will be very hard to do it right (eg: copy a file from one computer to an other one, where the tiddler is invalid). I think a backups system needs to be reliable. So for me the solution is, to convince Jeremy, to implement a LessBackup(ish) algorithm. Without the whole file stuff, it seems to be pretty simple. The only thing to do, would be a nice TiddlyFox config page to enable / disable it. @jeremy IMO A TiddlyFox config page is needed anyway ;) -mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
